ActionSA City of Tshwane Caucus spokesperson, Thabang Sebotsane adds, “ActionSA thanks our coalition partners for placing trust in us by nominating one of our own for the position. As the Chairperson of the Municipal Public Accounts Committee (MPAC), Morodi has an impressive track record of championing corruption-busting investigations to stop the plunder of ratepayer Rands.
